Are you a leader feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or on the hunt for fresh inspiration? In this episode of Inspiring Possible, host Christy Pennison welcomes master certified coach Croft Edwards for a transformative conversation on leadership, self-mastery, and the art of being a beginner. Drawing on decades of experience coaching leaders from energy to aviation and stories from his own journey—including lessons learned in the military and in everyday life— Croft unpacks why our biggest leadership challenge is often ourselves.

Together, they explore key themes including:

• The three domains of ontological coaching: language, moods/emotions, and the body

• How the stories we tell ourselves can both limit and liberate our leadership

• The importance of practicing gratitude and shifting from "I have to" to "I get to"

• Why being a beginner—and practicing new skills, mindsets, and emotional perspectives—is fundamental to self-leadership

• Linking our actions to our deeper purpose and meaning, even in the toughest of times

Croft shares practical exercises, thought-provoking examples (from shoveling horse manure to Paul McCartney's mastery), and actionable advice for leaders at every level. If you're ready to embrace growth, shift your perspective, and unlock new possibilities, this episode offers inspiration and tools to help you lead with clarity, confidence, and courage.
